Lanyards? What the fuck is this referencing?

Just the other day there was a post about whether Catholic priests giving confession should be legally mandated reporters of crimes that are confessed to them. Totally opposite vibe in this comment section.

It’s as if people think corporations should be less regulated than religions.

Add to the list “Deactivate Steam overlay”. That had fixed multiple games for me in the past.

They are exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to privileged information. Sounds hackery to me. It’s not their fault that Zuck made it easy.

Good guy Pyrrhus.

If you’ve never thought about shooting someone, then on what basis can you even say that shooting someone is wrong?

There’s a difference between being funny and referencing something funny. This isn’t humor, it’s recall.

Ok, now do sponges. Is it obvious sponges feel pain? How can you tell it’s obvious?

Why would you assume another organism can feel pain without any proof? Rationalism requires skepticism.

Why were they storing passwords in plaintext in the databases?!

The most rigorous evidence comes from a 2018 whole-population study tracking nearly half a million children born in Western Australia between 1980 and 2001. Of those, 1,870 developed schizophrenia, but not one of the 66 children with cortical blindness did.

1,870 / 500,000 = 0.374% of people in the general population

0.374% * 66 = 0.25

Not particularly rigorous.

A lot of criticism here for numerical scores, but consider the popularity of tier list ranking videos. Maybe we should be ranking movies relative to one another. Not sure how that works as a UI though.

We need AI or else we’ll have nothing to protect us from… AI.

I’d prefer chariot racing over the clown.
